The present book is a collection of panel data papers, both
theoretical and applied. Theoretical topics include methodology
papers on panel data probit models, treatment models, error
component models with an ARMA process on the time specific
effects, asymptotic tests for poolability and their bootstrapped
versions, confidence intervals for a doubly heteroskedastic
stochastic production frontiers, estimation of semiparametric
dynamic panel data models and a review of survey attrition and
nonresponse in the European Community Household Panel.
Applications include as different topics as e.g. the impact of
uncertainty on UK investment, a Tobin-q investment model using US
firm data, cost efficiency of Spanish banks, immigrant
integration in Canada, the dynamics of individual health in the
UK, the relation between inflation and growth among OECD and APEC
countries, technical efficiency of cereal farms in England, and
employment effects of education for disabled workers in Norway.
